Bag Man
Trade cloth edition in good condition. Dust Jacket with intact price point. Spine slightly cocked, but otherwise a very nice reading copy. Mylar cover included.
“How on God’s green earth could a national figure, a man second in line to the most powerful office on the planet, a sitting vice-president of the United States of America, be so dumb, or so venal, to still be pocketing bribes?”
The year was 1973, and Spiro T. Agnew was Richard Nixon’s second-in-command. Agnew had carried out a bribery and extortion ring in office for years, when—at the height of Watergate—three young federal prosecutors discovered his crimes and launched a mission to take him down before it was too late, before Nixon’s impending downfall elevated Agnew to the presidency. Bag Man expands and deepens the story of Agnew’s scandal and its lasting influence on our politics, our media, and our understanding of what it takes to confront a criminal in the White House.
